[MP3] Roy Woods – Gwan Big Up Urself

I’ve been tracking this new OVO-affiliated, T.dot-based singer, Roy Woods as part of my work on the Polaris Music Prize jury but somehow have neglected to post anything by this dude here at The Kitchen. To rectify that oversight, here goes his most recent single, “Gwan Big Up Urself” released at the start of Summer.

In a “One Dance”, “Work”, “Controlla”, Machel Montano world, this should be massive for the rest of the summer. The 2.8 million plays it’s already gotten on Soundcloud suggest my safe prediction is already coming true. His other recently-released song, “How I Feel” might be just as big? Hit the jump to hear that joint ICYMI….

[MP3] Dutch – Free Up

Latest single from DUTCH, a rapper I was just introduced to from Toronto with a ‘new perspective on art.’ He’s an artist in every sense of the word too: a painter, producer, designer, and rapper. Dude’s music is very much in the ‘New Toronto’ vein, sound-wise (think Drake, Tory Lanez, Jazz Cartier, Sean Leon, The Weeknd, Partynextdoor etc.). Is it breaking any new ground? Not really if I was gonna keep it all the way 100. But is it any good? Can’t front, it is. Check it! And for a bonus ICYMI, check his track, “No Measure” from a few months back after the jump…

[MP3] Two Recent Tracks From Tory Lanez – Controlla (Swave Session Remix) / August 19

The motivation behind this “Controlla” remix, which dropped a while back but is posted here ICYMI, probably didn’t endear Tory to Drizzy but hey, it keeps things interesting….

Ah f-ck it, here goes Tory’s remix of DJ Khaled‘s “I Got the Keys” too:
